A reminder: A blog post does not represent the common thoughts of a community any more than a submission to HN represents the thoughts of the submitter.
Mr. Fogus, you know much better that to
post such ignorance to Hacker News.
Save your pontificating for someone else. What I do know is that when someone says something that I disagree with I think about and discuss it and respond or reject based on its own merits. I do know better than to plug my ears and scream "La La La La La" so as not to hear.
Thank you for the response. I agree in general. But so far I haven't seen too much fruit in this discussion, because the lisp community(all dialects) has had this conversation too many times, I appreciate your submissions and blog posts that give us a new way to look at things, there are certainly much better topics for us to discuss. The future of lisp is certainly important enough, but we could have had just a better way of starting it(continuing it actually).
